Landry Jones to start at QB for Steelers against Chiefs
The Steelers have to do what’s best for them in the long term, when it comes to Roethlisberger. However, Big Ben’s recovery is coming along faster than originally anticipated, and there’s a chance he could play on Sunday.
With Pittsburgh showing life defensively, it gave them hope they could still win this game. His first touchdown pass (an 88 yarder) was actually a 7 yard completion where Bryant dodged and weaved his way to paydirt.
It would be a boost to the Steelers if Roethlisberger could be on the field. Fan pressure to bench Alex Smith increases and the defense has another solid performance wasted. Jones has made great strides in his two-plus years with the team and has wowed Pittsburgh brass with his work ethic and dedication to his craft.
“A little bit I think we just made plays down the stretch”. While the Pittsburgh Steelers first quarterback aims to work out with Landry Jones, Ben Roethlisberger noted that he is open to the possibility that he will not be able to perform satisfactorily and might have to sit out Week 7. Note that should has never applied to the Chiefs this year. They’re 24 in the National Football League, having allowed 2,237 yards.
Prediction: Kansas City 20, Steelers 17. But it’s clear that this defense has not risen to the occasion at all. The Chiefs defense also contained Adrian Peterson, limiting the six-time Pro Bowler to just 2.3 yards per carry. During their last five games, the Chiefs have done a better job stopping the run, giving up an average of 95.8 rushing yards.
Again, don’t make too much of one start. It was Allen’s first action of the season with the offense… Maybe it was a fluke, or poor game-planning on the Cardinals’ side, or a combination of a lot of things.
One place Kansas City is really vulnerable is its offensive line. Palmer completed 29 of 45 passes for 421 yards. Three Santos field goals and a defensive touchdown lead the Chiefs to victory after a couple of turnovers from Landry Jones. It’s clear that their focus has to be on stopping Bell.
“Ben can extend the play in a totally different way”, Sutton said.
The Chiefs are looking at a host of talented players on the sideline. The Chargers are the only team on the West Coast that the Steelers hold a winning record over on their home turf.
While Mike Vick only threw one interception in his almost 60 passes over a three-plus-game span, he threw seven or eight passes that could have, or should have, been intercepted, including at least one in every single game, that could have turned one of those wins into losses.
